If you are going to be on-line anywhere from 5:30pm - 8pm Pacific time, check out the webcast of the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century tonight. It is only visible in parts of China and the South Pacific, but the Griffith Park Observatory here in Los Angeles is broadcasting the view via webcast from Shanghai. The "totality" stage of the eclipse will happen around 6:30pm Pacific, lasting from 6:37pm - 6:43pm.
